    Leaving for streaming

    Well, after 22 years, I'm finally leaving. I just can't continue to justify the $122/mo spend when I have high speed internet and streaming available. So I'm jumping ship to YouTube TV (already have Netflix). Bye Dish.

    Another H3 OTA Problem - can't delete scanned channels

    I've had a consistent problem since I installed my H3 with OTA: I am unable to delete any channels that have been scanned in. I select either all channels or one individual channel and select delete, then save but when I go back in to the OTA menu, the channel(s) are back. I've even tried...

    Sling Adapter died?

    I have the Hopper 2000 (without sling) and have (had) a sling adapter on the unit working happily. Today when I attempted to use the Dish Anywhere app I got the error that it couldn't communicate with my receiver. I checked out the sling adapter and discovered no lights on the device and...

    Dish *requires* a technician visit just to add an additional Joey?? Really?!?!?! URGH!!!!

    So I have a 2H/2J install that overall, I'm not unhappy with. Black Friday rolls around and I pick up a nice Tv for one of the Kids bedrooms. No problem, I hit the duo node, add a splitter as per the wiring diagrams, hook up the distribution coax to that room and voila, ready to order the...

    Can't play back transferred recordings on either Hopper but new native recording playbak fine.

    To clarify a bit, I upgraded to a 2H/2J system on Friday (aka: day 0) (I *upgraded* from a pair of 722K units) and prior to replacing the IRDs, I transferred my recording from each 722k to an external hard drive (two differnet drives and two different manufacturers). On Friday afternoon, after...

    Hopper Remote - Program AUX port to control a legacy receiver via IR

    I've just upgraded my systems from older 722K receivers to a H/J deployment. So far, I'm able to make my way through everything but I'm having trouble with one piece: On my older 6.x remotes, I was able to program the AUX selection on the remote to control a Dish receiver in IR mode by...

    Dish 21.0 Remote - multiple IR signals sent per button press (advanced)

    I've had my 722K receivers for some time now (formerly had 622, 941, 721, Dishplayer 7100 etc.). Anyway on to my problem... I noticed that the newer 21.0 remotes appear to send between two and four actions per button press on the remote. For example, if I fully depress "2", the remote will...

    Dish getting tight - no resolution offer from ceo@echostar.com

    Well, it appears the Dish resolution/retention team is getting very tight on giving offers or credits or any other offer and basically told me to walk. My #1 issue with how 'owned' equipment users are given no benefit over leased subs and the seeminly neverendin priceing increases which for...

    Dish Remote Access for Blackberry - PVR Functions?

    I downloaded the Dish Remote Access app for Blackberry and although it does work, for the life of me, I cannot figure out where the PVR functions are are made available when viewing sling content, if they even are. The app is worthless to me if I can't use my compliment of PVR functions to...

    Disadvantages to Bundling?

    Here's my situation: I am currently a Dish customer and a Windstream customer on wholly separate accounts. I keep getting offers from Windsteam to bundle. the obvious benefit is a $5 discount for bundling, but what is of more certain is how will that affect my dish service. From what I...

    Ok, I decided to try the remote backup and restore feature on my 722K so I have my fully programmed TV1 remote (20.0) and decide to try to do a backup and then restore my remote information to a replacement 21.0 remote in IR mode. We'll things didn't go as planned. Although the SAT mode...

    EHD Recording Transfer from 622 to 722k Failed

    Here is the situation: I have been a user of 622s for a longtime and also had EHD on my account since it was announced. I decided to take a the plunge and purchase a replacement 722K for one of the 622s. Everything with the activation of the new 722K went smoothly and I kept the 622 it is...

    EHD Problems and being blatantly lied to by the Dish CSR

    I really wish I could say that I am surprised that Dish's customer service has degraded so much over the last year but alas, I am not. I guess this is why the subscriber growth numbers are down 89% and the stock price is in the crapper. Anyway, I began experieanceing a problem with my EHD...

    129 Signal Problems Atlanta WSB (yes another thread)

    I've suffered from the constant signal problems that have plaged the echostar 4 satellite at 129 for the last 18 months or so since I put up my dish. Most of the time I have just dealt with it as the green pixelation, and signal drop outs were usually borderline bearable. Unfortunately...
